Ugh her mind, I wouldn't even be surprised if the 2m preorders figure is true for this reason alone

I know it's kind of unethical and wrong to FOMO yourself to record-breaking sales through exclusive bonus tracks but I no longer want to pretend to actually care, like I would have bought more than one anyway so at least I get multiple new songs and covers each this time

 

:ryan3:

 

Exactly

 

Spoiler

nnn to my mind ethics concerns went out the window YEARS ago, across the board (I think for me it was during snapchatgate when there was a period of time where I did in fact think she had lied about the statement, and I quickly realized I didn't give a single flying ****. I'm lashed to this woman and her music at the hip, no matter what, which is how I can laugh away jetgate and Ratty, and am happy to give her money because what if The Black Dog is the next right where you left me or the lakes, I can't wait three weeks to hear it this time. It makes stan life pretty easy to not have to worry about that

 :ryan3:

 

Sure, the people less invested in her and without the 2016 trauma bond probably feel very differently about it than I do, but I wouldn't miss them if they left the fanbase anyway, and I know THOTS comments are delivered over a puddle of their tears

WHAT :deadbanana2:

 

WHAT DID I READ :deadbanana2:

 

Spoiler

I'll need to sit on this, but as someone who is fully on board with the theory that most of "fictional" folklore was just a camouflaged version of her real life because she couldn't talk **** about her current boyfriend in songs and expect to stay with him (basically half of what Dear Reader is about), I'd come to terms with hoax being a Joe song. But now... is this implying that THE 1 IS A ******* JOE SONG :deadbanana2:

 

Let me digest and consult with the Tumblr experts :deadbanana2:

@PoisonedIvy king where is this from? 

 

edit wait I found it in the comments: https://www.vulture.com/2020/07/taylor-swift-folklore-aaron-dessner-breaks-down-every-song.html

 

not me thinking it was a new article :deadbanana2:

I am truly expecting red 2.0… in the BEST way. Substitute country for alternative

i dont get why she doesnt give out free shipping oif you order multiple tbh. first of all, she'd certainly still be making money even with it, just less. secondly, the money shed make is chump change compared to what she makes on tour anyway.  i think shes missing a great opportunity here to boost even more sales.

 

 

 

 

as for previouls comments about doing interviews to give out more details and to makae the cycle more fun:

1. she was in peoples faces and feeds more than enough since the grammys and the SB win, so if anything shes afraid she might oversaturate herself again.. 

 

2. as for talking about her current feelings or info about what the album is about.. it was already proven she'd do the biggest number simply by keeping everyone in the dark and find out themselves day 1.  anything she says, any information she lets out, for every 1 fan that is happy, 2 or more cupcakes will go"ugh that aint what i like!". simply put, her base is too big at this point to not aliante some fans whild doing some things. its best to save it all for day 1.

It's actually a little infuriating that cars don't have cd players anymore

Literally. My trashy-ass 2017 Chevy can bite me for 1) the fact that I can't use it to play Taylor CDs on the way home from Target on release days anymore and 2) having the TINIEST cup holders known to man.

I'm screaming at non-Gaylors still figuring out post-April 2023 that folklore and evermore are largely just thinly veiled "fiction" about her real life :ahh: We said this **** from day 1.

I'm tentatively in the market for a car, and I was looking online and I couldn't find a single new car with a CD player, and most used cars I saw online don't have them either :clack:

 

And I'm a bit delusional and like to think that I have a secret rich uncle who is about to die and give me a lot of money so I literally was not considering a budget at all when looking, like even the top tier, hundred thousand+ dollar cars are missing them :clack:

The way I'd hoard all of it for the next Taylor tour bloodbath

it's for the greater good. all the songs that you played when you were stuck in traffic, had they been played from CD players instead of  your phone or apple car play, she wouldnt be 50 million units per year and overtaking madonna same time next year:jonnycat:

Is there a reason why The Manuscript version is so popular and is selling out so quick? :dancehall:

no one have anything real obviously, and  even the most reliabale  accounts are only doing guestimates. however im very certain shes way past 2m, and is probably close to 3m. and if that  turns out to be true then she only needs the streams to do slightly better than midnights to break the  all time record.

I'm listening to Fearless right now and it's probably my #5 album. It's soooooo good. Don't get why so many fans don't like it

How did you not know?

 

She talks about the "roarin' 20s" and people leap to the 1920s because that's what they were called, but she also mentions the internet. Which means it can only be about the 2020s. And the song contains explicit lyrical ties to many Joe songs, including peace (chosen family) and cardigan (she says "the 1" in that song).

So she was suffering in that relationship since 2020?

god will never grant me a CD release early because if I did get this or any CD early you best believe I'd tease the **** out of it and jam to it in Apple Lossles

because the Manuscript was very limited when it was released. it was gone in less than an hour when the deluxe CD got released

That's why I don't believe when she says Folklore and Evermore are fictional. Too many specific situations, ways of words and feelings for it to be about random characters.

I feel bad for her. She was in denial for such a long time!
